Nanomaterials (NMs) are increasingly used in medical treatments, electronics, and food additives. However, nanosafety-the possible adverse effects of NMs on human health-is an area of active research. This review provides an overview of the influence of biomolecular coronas on NM transformation following various exposure routes. We discuss potential exposure pathways, including inhalation and ingestion, describing the physiology of exposure routes and emphasising the relevance of coronas in these environments. Additionally, we review other routes to NM exposure, such as synovial fluid, blood (translocation and injection), dermal and ocular exposure, as well as the dose and medium impact on NM interactions. We emphasize the need for an in-depth characterisation of coronas in different biological media, highlighting the need and opportunity to study lung and gastric fluids to understand NM behaviour and potential toxicity. Future research aims to predict better outcomes and address the complexities of NM interactions with biological systems.
纳米材料(NMs)越来越多地应用于医学治疗、电子产品和食品添加剂中。然而,纳米安全性——纳米材料对人类健康可能产生的不利影响——是一个活跃的研究领域。本综述概述了生物分子冠层对各种暴露途径后纳米材料转化的影响。我们讨论了潜在的暴露途径,包括吸入和摄入,描述了暴露途径的生理学,并强调了冠层在这些环境中的相关性。此外,我们还综述了其他纳米材料暴露途径,如滑液、血液(转运和注射)、皮肤和眼部暴露,以及剂量和介质对纳米材料相互作用的影响。我们强调需要深入表征不同生物介质中的冠层,突出研究肺液和胃液以了解纳米材料行为和潜在毒性的必要性和机会。未来的研究旨在更好地预测结果,并解决纳米材料与生物系统相互作用的复杂性。
